Reflection Of I Am Malala

It began as an ordinary day in Mingora, Pakistan, for a young girl returning home from school on her school bus. Suddenly, a masked gunman rushed into the bus and shouted, “Who is Malala?” Her friends on the bus looked back at her, and in the blink of an eye she was shot on the left side of her face. This incident was the spark that ignited a call for change in education around the world. Malala Yousafzai was the face of this change. She made significant contributions to female education rights by being an education activist and urging children to speak out and fight for their rights. She forever changed the lives of Pakistani girls who today benefit from free education and resources with numerous schools around their country.

As a teenager, it is easy to feel lost, hide in the crowd, and then lose our voice. Malala Yousafzai inspires us to be courageous. She bravely spoke of her opinion and stood up for her education. Now it’s our turn to voice our opinion about something that we think is right. It is now our turn to take education seriously, just like what Malala

Activist, Malala Yousafzai in her book “I Am Malala,” delineates that the Taliban were going around depriving young women from their education and how she stands up and fights for young women and herself to stay and go to school. Malala’s purpose is to exude the idea that education is a basic human right and that no one should be deprived from it. She adopts a sentimental tone in order to get to her audience. In her book she uses many emotional appeals, logical appeals, she uses credibility, and imagery. Malala stood up for what she believed in, she may be inspiring her readers to never give in to something they don’t think is right.

Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani Women’s Right Activist, is known for her fight against Educational rights, especially for women. Malala is an example we should all follow. She has shown perseverance throughout her whole life. “Malala Yousafzai defied the Taliban in Pakistan and demanded that girls be allowed to receive an education.” Malala didn’t listen to them and kept quite like everyone else, instead she fought. “When the whole world is silent, even one voice become powerful.” Malala believed that education is important, and no one has right to steal that from her, or anyone else. “She was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012” because she was working against the Taliban. She survived this attacked and moved to England. Even after being

Although Weisell and Yousafzai have similar viewpoint in many subjects, this matter is ultimately significant. As Weisell is concluding his memoir, he says “ There is so much to be done, there is so much that can be done. One person...one person of integrity can make a difference, a difference of life and death”(120). He is using this language specifically to inspire the children of tomorrow because they are the next generation of people to make changes in the world. However, Yousafzai delivers an identical message by speaking up herself and showing people that a difference can be made while being a role model for them. One “The Daily Show,” Yousafzai says “ Why don’t I raise my voice, why don’t we speak up for our rights...I spoke on every media channel that I could, and I raised my voice on every platform that I could.” Late in this interview, Yousafzai mentions that education is very important and she connects her education back to this statement of speaking up for rights. Overall, speaking up for one’s rights and beliefs is an essential aspect of education because in this scenario, an individual is not the one becoming educated, but the one educating

Malala Yousafzai’s home town in the Swat Valley of Pakistan is where her journey first takes place where oppression against womens education is enforced by Taliban rule. The Taliban staunchly opposed Malala’s fierce beliefs in the right for women to have an education and they did their best to silence her voice. Malala and the other women in the Swat Valley were forced to obey their oppressive regime and not gain an education. Despite the harsh climate against her Malala spoke up against this tyranny with the faith that she could cause a change for the better. Unfortunately due to this she was singled out and faced severe retaliation. A Taliban gunman stopped her school bus and proclaimed that she must be punished for insulting the

Malala Yousafzai, a 15 year old girl, took a stand against equal rights in her community and got shot in the head while doing so. Yousafzai uses ethos, pathos, and logos to connect with the readers, while using those, she also adds personal stories and images right from her home town. Those stories and pictures make this a strongly believable autobiography. Not only does she give her perspective on equal rights, she also gives her families and classmates.

Activist, Malala Yousafzai in her book “I Am Malala,” delineates that the Taliban were going around depriving young women from their education and how she stands up and fights for children all over the world and herself to stay and go to school. She shows how she refused to be silenced and how this book can teach her readers that some good they do can change the world by using rhetorical strategies. Malala’s purpose is to exude the idea that education is a basic human right and that no one should be deprived from it. She adopts a sentimental tone in order to get to her audience. In her book she uses many emotional appeals, logical appeals, she uses credibility, and imagery. Malala stood up for what she believed in, she may

Throughout this well-written, emotional and inspiring novel about Malala Yousafzai we have not only seen who she is as a person, but we have seen the challenges in her life and we have come to learn her story due to the rhetorical strategies she has included all throughout the book. Malala has shown us the use of pathos, logos and diatyposis. Malala has always been a different person in her family ever since she was little and that has helped her become the women she is today, the woman who stood up to the Taliban and survived a head shot bullet, but most of all she is a girl who stood up for children's right at a young age by simply going to school. Malala’s story isn't about herself, it's about her country and what the Taliban are doing

Malala Yousafzai being a completely different person that any girl in her country demonstrates the gruesome ,and savage nature of the men and women in the country of Pakistan. She not only shows the unawareness driven by fright among the people there, but displays how horrid it truly was. Influences of a misinterpretation form of Islam yield the innocent under the hands of the miserable forces of the evil such as the Taliban. Subsequently, the country of Pakistan under Taliban rule has gone through continuous fear and discriminations that strip girls from their education. Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani woman who only wanted an education, was obligated to view her life at its worst and at the same time, view the desire and dreams of girls who brawl for their education that they have been denied. Yousafzai has glimpsed and lived through a world that no American child could have ever imagined and cherishes an education what no child would have imagined losing. Nonetheless, through her novel, I Am Malala, Yousafzai has put into effect an extraordinary and a determined message to the world of a sincere love for education and peace. Malala utilizes strong repetition, vivid imagery, and powerful ethos in her biography to make it stand out extremely.

Reading his narrative life, inspired me to think about how easy it is to go to school, and learn without any violence happen to me. I do not have to secretly read after I do my chores or ask for permission. He has inspired me to fully take in and appreciate the classrooms I get, the teachers who are there every day, and the help that is offered to me for free at the library and other institutions. Like Douglass, Malala faced struggles to attain her education. She grew up in Pakistan in a village called the Swat Valley. In her home education was important. Where she lived women/ girls were allowed to go to school, but not everyone believed that was a good thing. The Taliban had grown to large numbers, proclaiming their extreme beliefs onto people, one of them is that girls were not allowed to be educated. So schools had to be hidden in what looked like regular buildings, but as soon as the students walked in “that doorway was like a magical entrance to our own special world” (Yousafzai, 2013). School meant so much to these students that even if a large extremist group was threatening them, they still went

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for education, especially for females, and equal rights to education in the middle east. She revolutionized education equality for children. She has received many peace awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize. The Taliban outlawed education in Pakistan, where she lived, for all females in 2009. She continued to attend classes and speak out on her BBC blog, the radio, and was even in a documentary about her life in the middle east and going to school as a girl despite the new law. In early October of 2012, when Malala was 15, she became the victim of an attempted murder by a Taliban gunman. She was shot in the head on the bus ride home from school. She was rushed to the hospital and after being stabilized, she was moved to another hospital to remove the bullet. After her tragic personal experience, she became well known and used her newfound popularity to advocate for education in the middle east. This speech is just one example of the many speeches she gave to bring attention to the problem. She also asked many other influential people with a higher status to help her bring awareness to the cause. To understand Malala’s speech the reader needs to understand what her goal is, what rhetorical devices she uses to reach that goal and how effective the speech is. She is quite effective in getting her goal across to the audience through her speeches by using her public speaking skills to get her audience to agree with what she has to say.

Deep in my heart I hoped to reach every child who could take courage from my words and stand up for his or her rights.” Malala has experienced living in a war-stricken environment. Although people in her community want change, they are afraid to be punished by the Taliban. Malala speaks

Malala Yousafzai used an anecdote in her speech to relate her story with the audience. In the speech it says, “The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.” This example gives the audience hope that they can take action and achieve gender equality rights by using their words and actions. The anecdote appeals to the audience’s emotions, by using specific word choice such as strength, power, and courage. This helps connect Malala’s view to the audience. “I remember that there was a boy in our school who was asked by a journalist, Why are the Taliban against education? He answered very simply. By pointing to his book he said, A Talib doesn’t know what is written inside this book. They think that God is a tiny, little conservative being who would send girls to hell just because of going to school. The terrorists are misusing the name of Islam and Pashtun society for their own personal beliefs.” This quote shows the audience why the terrorists do crimes and mass murders, and Malala Yousafzai is teaching her audience to be forgiving and use words and

Malala Yousafzai’s is a women’s activist for youth education, but primarily for girls. On July 12th, 2013, she delivered an address at the Youth Takeover of the United Nation. This speech is powerful, eye opening and deserves to be heard. She is addressing two audiences, one being the people that follow her same belief for education, some of those people would be at this convention and the other being the people that disagree with her purpose, like the Taliban. Yousafzai was in 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, which used to be a popular tourist destination. As of now the region has been taken into control of the Taliban. Her father is also an anti- Taliban activist and educator. She, her father and tons of others just want thing to be like they used to. Where they had a safe neighborhood and didn't have to worry about violence. She delivered a speech riddled with excellent use of rhetoric to convey her argument. Malala’s whole purpose for her fight for education of the youth is so that it will stop future violence, She displays this purpose in her speech by using outward focus, compassion and personal experience to her audiences.
